Rumors circulating that Novell is going to kill off its popular Linux desktop lines are completely false. [However,] Novell is making one large strategic change. The GNOME interface is going to become the default interface on both the SLES and Novell Linux Desktop line. KDE libraries will be supplied on both, but the bulk of Novell's interface moving forward will be on GNOME. "The entire KDE graphical interface and product family will continue to be supported and delivered on OpenSuSE."

Face it, SuSE's been KDE-orientated for quite some time now. So novell bought loads of KDE experience, and now decided to throw that out for a desktop which alwas has been sort of neglected by suse?
<p>You'd prefer that after they've bought Ximian, and all that Gnome experience, that they just throw that away in favor of a desktop that Ximian completely hasn't worked on?

Well, Ximian was bankrupt and SUSE profitable. So which one of those two would you prefer?
